Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition of the seminal textbook The Economics of Urban Transportation incorporates the latest research affecting the design, implementation, pricing, and control of transport systems in towns and cities. The book offers an economic framework for understanding the societal impacts and policy implications of many factors including congestion, traffic safety, climate change, air quality, COVID-19, and newly important developments such as ride-hailing services, electric vehicles, and autonomous vehicles. Rigorous in approach and making use of real-world data and econometric techniques, the third edition features a new chapter on the special challenges of managing the energy that powers transportation systems. It provides fully updated coverage of well-known topics and a rigorous treatment of new ones. All of the basic topics needed to apply economics to urban transportation are included: Forecasting demand for transportation services under various conditions Measuring costs, including those incurred by users and incorporating two new tools to describe congestion in dense urban areas Setting prices under practical constraints Evaluating infrastructure investments Understanding how private and public sectors interact to provide services Written by three of the field’s leading researchers, The Economics of Urban Transportation is essential reading for students, researchers, and practicing professionals in transportation economics, planning, engineering, or related disciplines. With a focus on workable models that can be adapted to future needs, it provides tools for a rapidly changing world.

Book The Use of Economic and Land Use Models in Transportation Planning

Download or read book The Use of Economic and Land Use Models in Transportation Planning written by United States. Federal Highway Administration. Socio-Economic Studies Division and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the proceedings of a panel discussion of the use of economic and land use models in transportation planning. Participating in the panel discussion were Dr. Charles Floyd of the University of Georgia, Dr. Paul Weiner of the University of Connecticut, David Goettee of the Federal Highway Administration, and Dr. Martin Stein of the Maryland Department of Transportation. The panel discussion was attended by federal, state, and local transportation planners, and by University and other private consultants who were invited to participate in the discussion. Conclusions of the panel discussion were that 1. computerized models are useful tools for analyzing a broad range of transportation impacts; 2. trust in models may be fostered by developing a better understanding of the role of models in decision making and how these models can be used in problem solving; 3. many opportunities exist for cost-effectively adapting existing models to analyze new problems; 4. developing models requires close coordination between the model builder and the planners and decision makers to assure that the model is useful; 5. planners should consider changing patterns of economic activity in other regions to be sure their predictions are consistent with these patterns; and 6. an improved process for disseminating information about existing models is needed.

Book The Economics of Urban Transportation

Download or read book The Economics of Urban Transportation written by Kenneth A. Small and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-10-18 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely new edition of Kenneth A. Small’s seminal textbook Urban Transportation Economics, co-authored with Erik T. Verhoef, has been fully updated, covering new areas such as parking policies, reliability of travel times, and the privatization of transportation services, as well as updated treatments of congestion modelling, environmental costs, and transit subsidies. Rigorous in approach and making use of real-world data and econometric techniques, it contains case studies from a range of countries including congestion charging in Norway, Singapore and the UK, light rail in the Netherlands and freeway tolls in the US. Small and Verhoef cover all basic topics needed for any application of economics to transportation: forecasting the demand for transportation services under alternative policies measuring all the costs including those incurred by users setting prices under practical constraints choosing and evaluating investments in basic facilities designing ways in which the private and public sectors interact to provide services. This book will be of great interest to students with basic calculus and some knowledge of economic theory who are engaged with transportation economics, planning and, or engineering, travel demand analysis, and many related fields. It will also be essential reading for researchers in any aspect of urban transportation.
